Why do I hate the Colts so much

[Canada's #1 Pats Fan]

It's halftime in the Ravens - Colts game and of course I am rooting for the Ravens because I actually despise what the Colts stand for, but, I am trying to figure it out exactly why do I (we) hate the Colts so much. Is it becuase Dungy's best friend (Hermie) can't game plan and then cries at centerfield after the game telling Tony to go and win this thing, is it becuase of Manning's awkward running style, is it because for some strange reason Manning has the ability to eldue the rush in the backfield, is it because Manning can't see past his huge ego and pocketbook to realize that he has to give up some of his salary to get better, what is it? Please supply your reasons for why we hate the Colts so much. For me, I think it is Manning's flat face.

Perhaps it is because being part of the great Manning football family and being the best pure passer in the league, Peymeaton is viewed as a person who feels entitled to success and not needing to work hard for it. His gyrations at the LOS and his temper tantrums on the sidelines make us all laugh and hate him the more.

Funny though, as I am watching the BAL/IND game, I don't know who to root for. I think I would rather my Patriots face BAL just to try something different. I don't want us to go back to that Dome again, eventhough I think we can beat either team.

Go Pats!

because Peyton's ugly mug is everywhere. and because the only thing in the way of the idiots maybe eventually realizing that brady is the best qb in the league is peyton winning a title.

 

[Johnny Mac]

Because the media annoints them champions before every season.

 

[BelichickFan]

because Peyton's ugly mug is everywhere.

That pretty much sums it up for me. The commercials plus the whining as if the league owes him something because of his name.

 

[SpiritOf76]

Peyton "pout, whine, and throw my team under the bus" Manning, and Bill "threaten and attack" Polian.

 

[Iverson]

Everything about the way they play is bush league.

 

[frenchypatsfan]

I hate them like no one. Maybe because they're considered the 8 th wonder of the world and they do nothing special beside cumulate fantasy points. Because while the Patriots and Brady won championships, they won nothing and everybody says of them that they're the best team of the NFL. And I can say several others...after Montreal Canadians, They are the second team i hate the most!

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

whining to change the rules becuase they couldn't win how the rules were predicated.

whining to change the rules becuase they couldn't win how the rules were predicated.

This is reason No. 1 why I hate them. There is one set of rules for 31 teams in the league, and there is another set for the Colts. They get all the calls, all the time. Napolian took care of that himself in the rules meetings following their 2003 and 2004 playoff debacles AKA choke jobs.

Beyond that, Manning isn't worthy of winning a SB. He's been a Nancy Boy since his days of losing every big game he played in while at Tennessee yet somehow, he's the face of the league.

 

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

I hate all classless organizations. The Colts, Red Sox, Knicks, Raiders, Red Wings, Flyers, Maple Leafs, Eagles, Jags, Jets, Steelers, Braves, etc.

But the Colts are the worst. Their players are morons, their management are morons, their coaches are morons, their fans are morons. Now, there are exceptions of course, I've met a couple of cool Colt fans, but they are very much the exception.

And, being in the heart of Red Sox nation I will wholeheartedly admit the Patriots do have their fair share of ignorant fans, but most I've met are pretty cool.

whining to change the rules becuase they couldn't win how the rules were predicated.

That is exactly it!

Now the passing game in the NFL has become a farse.

Notice the Colts didn't lobby for offense holding to be called more tightly.

If they could throw a flag on the Seahawks in the SB last season for offensive holding, you could throw a flag against the Colts every single play!

 

[Patsobsessed]

Can't stand his face....

Can't stand his whining......

That's just Dungy. Now on to Peyton.

Can't stand his face....

Can't stand his whining...

Can't stand his family's sense of entitlement. I totally am loving how dumb the Giants/Mannings look now that Eli is struggling and how bratty they all were to get Manning to go to NY. "But I don't wanna play for the Chargers!"

 

[NEPatriot]

I don't hate the Colts. In fact, I don't understand why so many of us continue to not give them the respect they deserve. They've been a great team the past few years, with one of the top coaches, QB's, WR's, RB's and DE's in the game. Having not yet won a Super Bowl should not be equated with failure.

 

[Rob0729]

Here's why I hate the Colts:

1.) Bill Polian - The guy is an arsehole tyrant. He does everything to cheat to get his team to win (pump in crowd noise in the stadium), but he is the first one to run to the league when someone else gets an advantage on his Colts. Him using his position on the rules committee to engineer rules emphasises and changes to give the Colts an advantange is disgusting.
2.) Everyone constantly annoiting them the Super Bowl eventhough they usually fall apart in the playoffs. I am tired of everyone jumping on Manning's jock every year although this is only the second time in Manning's 9 year career that he has even gotten to the AFC Championship.
3.) The Colts' attitude. Everytime we beat them, they cry foul (Willie McGinest injury timeout and aggressive coverage). When we beat them close, they act like they were the better team but gave away the game.
4.) I know most people say he is good guy and even he and Brady are friends, but there is something about him that rubs me the wrong way. I don't know what it is, but it does.

 

[PatsMyBoyz!]

There's absolutely nothing I respect about the Colts-nothing-but I should qualify that and say that doesn't apply to all players on the team. I have respect for Harrison,I always liked Edge,Addai is excellent,and there are probably others I just can't think of right now,but my absolute distaste for Manning,Polian and all the rest of that ball of wax taints what little objectivity I have.
I almost feel badly for some of their players who must forever live in manning's shadow. And look at him,listen to him,watch his histrionics,only to get thrown under his bus with every loss.
I vote for a vomit icon.

 

[5 Rings for Brady!!]

All of the above, and more:

NaPolian has been the single biggest drag on this game we love in modern memory.

NaPolian is an inferior human being and does not deserve anything other than contempt.

Manning is helped in every possible way that you can conceive of, and yet he stinks in the playoffs. It is not his defense that sucks in the playoffs, it is him.

 

[oldskool138]

I know exactly why I don't like Peyton Manning. His face is everywhere. He's the face of the NFL because of fantasy stats and having the right last name. He hasn't won an AFC Championship let alone a Super Bowl! Plus, the media always plants a big wet kiss on the Colts at the begining of the season.

Brady has the unfortunate circumstance of playing in his shadow. Now, I know Tom has had his fair share of exposure (hosting SNL and the "Five Layers of Protection" ads) but try to watch an NFL game without seeing Peyton's Frankenstien-esqe mug on the TV. I hope, in a few years, Manning is doing Isotoner glove ads a la Marino.

 

[PatsMyBoyz!]

Even Dungy has a commercial. *sigh*
Thankfully peytie isn't in it.

 

[Boston Jay]

I f'n DESPISE NaPolian.. I hate him. You cannot have good defensive games anymore because of this moron. Boo hoo. Your offense can't get it done against top defenses.. too bad. Don't change the game to suit your own needs. You POS.
